Sheldon Adelson Says He Will Support Donald Trump
NY Times ^ | 5/5/2016 | Thomas Kaplan and Maggie Haberman

Posted on 05/05/2016 9:26:40 PM PDT by Read Write Repeat

The casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson said on Thursday night that he would support Donald J. Trump now that he has become the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.

“Yes, I’m a Republican, he’s a Republican,” Mr. Adelson said in a brief interview. “He’s our nominee. Whoever the nominee would turn out to be, any one of the 17 — he was one of the 17. He won fair and square.”

he is not a Democrat however he is 100% an open borders guy.

he just wants slaves for his casinos nothing more.

anybody who thinks Adelson is a tea party guy is out of their mind.

Adelson is all that and he is Israel first type zionist which appeals to Evangelicals. I recall Gingrich and Adelson on Israel.

On positive note, he is supporting Trump and not playing games with Cruz and any of the anti-Trump BS.

I remember how Steve Wynn attended Trump’s NV victory speech at the Treasure Island Casino. Trump noted how Sheldon wasn’t there. So Trump finally has the four corners of Spring Mountain Road and Las Vegas Blvd all in his pocket.

I would rather have him in the tent pissing out, instead of outside pissing in.

i would care if he hid it, but he doesn’t.

I’m glad he came out to support Trump.

Between Trump, Kochs, Sheldon, Soros and others i probably dont know, it’s a battle of the billionaires lol

Adelson can help fund Trump's General Election campaign. Glad to have him on board. He knows the right side of things is #NeverHillary.

Good! Trump has tons of money but it is always good to have more backing you. Adelson has given tons of money to medical research and charities — and he’s strong on USA defense and rebuilding our alliance with Israel so damaged by O—— most important: a few more $ to defeat Hillary is great news — the bitch has been amassing a huge warchest to move her fat ass back into our WH.( If she succeeds, maybe we can at least insist she bring back the furniture she stole? ). Good for Adelson! Good for Trump! Let’s get together and keep Hillary out of Washington, D.C.!!

First and foremost Alelson is a greedy horrible asshole. Much rather have Steve Wynn support perhaps Trump already has it

No one’s hands are clean in the world these people travel in....you need to take what support you can find & try and do what you promised the public. If we get half of what Trump has said, we survive. We get Hillary....it’s over.

Ps: mr Trump was never my number one choice. But we need to get our act together now to stop Hillary. She’s bought up the d n c and has a zillion Dineros for her campaign. The more support we get to defeat her the better - she’s very unpopular in most D party circles but she has the most money so she can buy a whole lot of votes

Brent Bozell does not agree. He has some great points, and I will receive many insults for posting this. Flame on!

I don’t get Sheldon Adelson.

He is in his 80’s, and worth over 30 billion dollars.

He could easily afford to pay a decent wage and benefits to American citizens, yet he is an open borders guy.

Hiring Americans would scarcely put a dent in his vast fortune.

Thanks. Yes. But that column is fighting yesterday’s war. I was looking to tomorrow’s ( against Hillary or even tougher perhaps I think Bernie). At sny event, two different discussions.

NeverTrumpers are not welcome here, so unless you are posting the article to make fun of Bozo-ell I would suggest you sit out for the duration of the election.

Adelson is an interesting case. He’s willing to concede on immigration because he desperately seeks to have Israel continue to exist. He knows that Trump isn’t going to hold back against the Muslim ferals, which makes Trump the only current candidate for the job.

Usually, the GOP-e are stubborn fools who will kick and scream until liberalism is the law of the land.
